Credentials

Already have a Preliminary or Level II credential that is expiring soon? Here’s some helpful information on how to upgrade or renew your current credential. There are various requirements for renewal, depending on your current status and credential. Many of these can be renewed online with appropriate documentation.

In certain circumstances an educator may be able to appeal to earn an extension of your credential or permit when he/she has not met the specific renewal requirements. Learn more here.
